UK & Ireland Minnesota Vikings Fan Club Podcast

Football is back—and one preseason game has already produced an entirely reasonable amount of Vikings panic.
BDR, TPJ and Daz review Minnesota’s win over the New York Giants, with Carson Wentz strengthening his QB2 case and J.J. McCarthy struggling to silence his critics. The lads pick their five winners and losers, including Myles Price, the revamped run game, Jay Ward, Jamal Adams, Ivan Pace Jr., Ty Felton and the developing punter battle between Johnny Hekker and Brett Thorson.
There is also concern for Caleb Banks and Domonique “Big Citrus” Orange, a look ahead to the Baltimore Ravens game and congratulations for Vikings fan Amy Hunt.
“Big Citrus: best name in football, not the best player in football.”

BDR is joined by Daz, TPJ and Jonathan Pye for an offseason catch-up that quickly turns into the Vikings QB1 debate: Kyler Murray or JJ McCarthy?
The guys discuss Nolan Teasley’s first front-office moves, fan-club membership, the 2026 Minnesota Invasion trip, Week 2 watch parties, OTA standouts, Dylan Bell hype, Ty Felton, Caleb Banks, Brian O’Neill, Dallas Turner, Harrison Smith, Carson Wentz and the state of the roster before the summer break.
The line of the show might be: “Nine starts by Week Nine.” Brave, dangerous, probably going on a T-shirt somewhere.
